His Grace is Sufficient!!!

Here again is the confirmation that to whom much is given, much is required. Moses’s anointing was so great that God expected him to pour into others. To take of himself when required. He commanded Moses more than once. But remember, it should always be at God’s command because it is never to be taken lightly. “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you” (Matthew 7: 6, KJV).

Here are two instances in which the LORD commanded Moses to do so. Focus on the magnitude of the sanctification given unto him.

1) “And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease” (Numbers 11: 25, KJV).

And 2) “The LORD said to Moses, ‘Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him; and have him stand before Eleazar the priest and before the whole congregation, and give him a commission in their sight. You shall put some of your authority and honor on him, so that all the congregation of the Israelites will obey him” (Numbers 27: 18-20, AMP).

This reaffirms that it is God who calls and appoints man into the ministry. Who prepares man according to the gifts that are bestowed upon him. Joshua was being prepared right under the nose of Moses whom himself was not even aware until God called Joshua.

What the LORD gave Moses was sufficient from the beginning. He did not have to go back and add more to him. Because after it is given, it is up to us to remain rooted in Him. It is our responsibility to replenish the oil, and to store more oil. God’s grace is sufficient to us.

Also know that it is up to us to be an example to all, especially those who are called, expecting that they should be greater than ourselves. To pour oil into and light the wick of others. This is of God. It is at this point where I was able to give a title to this post. Because you never know who is watching! “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2: 15, KJV).

“And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: and he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses” (Numbers 27: 22-23, KJV).

The Commandment for Men to Protect!!!

The Commandment for Men to Protect!!! To explain the importance of the words that we speak, I want you to meditate on this story that is placed in the Word of the LORD for a reason. Followed by the importance of honor in a man. Also read chapter 11 in the Book of Judges to get the full background and context. That in all that he was “perceived” to be, he was more honorable than most. Even in his reckless, inept speech. Placed in a sacrificial role of leadership, with no experience or guidance. Who in his heart held the LORD as highly esteemed, respected, and in the highest regard. “And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, then it shall be, that whosoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering. “So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against ...

Walk in Your Integrity!!!

Walk in Your Integrity!!! They were then given in marriage to these same men. Looking into their faces as they relived these horrors daily. Even as they were intimate with them. In every morsel of food that they ate. Seeing their valuables when they were forced to worship a God that they did not care to know. As they watched their captors wearing their items and those of their lost loved ones on their bodies, and whomever they chose to give them too. How were their wives and daughters supposed to feel about these foreign women being brought into their homes? Did they think that gifts should appease them, as they desire these other women? What type of example is this setting for their own children, including their sons? As these women may have felt rejected, made to feel less than. To think that these other women could ever truly love them is asinine. But this curse is two-fold, as our people were sent into slavery throughout our history as a people. Whose lands were taken from th...

I Have Done No Wrong!!!

I Have Done No Wrong!!! Many of us believe that if we do the bare minimum that all of our past sins should be forgotten. And that God should wave His magic wand and give us what we want. But can I tell you something? God is not a man that He should lie, nor the son of man, that He should repent. We do evil in His sight, He then judges us in righteousness, but we think that we should decide when our punishment is sufficient. By His grace, He has already set the terms, that if we obey, we can still be victorious and more importantly, learn the lesson, with patience, being steadfast. So that we truly repent of our evil ways. Let me put it this way. Imagine committing adultery against God, and although He forgives us, we continually complain, and gaslight Him. As if He should feel less than as we continue to blame Him for our imperfections. For our ungrateful nature. Without rectifying our wrongdoings. As if nothing that our Creator could ever do is good enough. Should we not expect ...
